Is it possible/viable to have the adblock icon (maybe an Exclamaition Point "!") on status bar indicate that an element on the page has been blocked.... (sort of like when an icon indicates that Mozilla/Netscape has blocked a pop up)....

i know this sounds like a rather inconsequential request , but this could be used eventually to quickly add whitelist /blacklist sites by clicking the icon

Haha- yea, I saw this thread, but got sidetracked during that session. It's not a bad idea, but it's also not consistent: all other managers have "Block.." / "Unblock.." directly in their Tools' submenus.
.
When whitelists land, they'll naturally be configurable in prefs; but for external controls, I'll think we'll follow suite on established convention.

Oh, and indicating when something's been blocked will be part of the GUI-overhaul. With the backend still in flux, this phase hasn't begun yet.
